DWM Statusbar

Dynamic and configurable statusbar for dwm written in Go. It uses rpc to setup a server that updates the root window name. See Remotely using it how to use rpc to update values on the statusbar manually.

Getting it

Configuring it

Copy the config.yaml into .config/dwmstatus/ to get a base config. The config file does not really need any saying. Take a look at it and you will understand whats going on.

Remotly updating it

Values can be remotely updated using the -update flag. Example:

dwmstatus -update [NAME]

NAME should be any of the names mapped in config.yaml. This command triggers the given statusbar item to force reload.
